Anthony Jackson2 said:Just kidding—doesn't really matter to me anyway. I don't have many... upbeat and energetic 🤣 users like you on my feed, so I'm not losing sleep over it. It's just... I'm worried our resident hamster wouldn't handle such an elementary shift in the entire forum's vibe. He'd probably have a heart attack 🙂
Our mascot will survive 😍 And you know why? 😬 Because hamsters only see in black and white, so our colorful little emojis won't bother him at all
Jack Ward82 said:This is ridiculous. @driftingbear29, 10 is actually fine, but once you hit 5, it starts getting impossible to read. 😳
In that case, don't you ever send me a PM, because I have no idea where you'd land on a scale of 1 to 10 regarding something like this 🤣
Anyway, we don't think it's 😍 🙂 Honestly, it never even crossed my mind that emojis could bother anyone 😵 Probably because I don't see them as tacky, but rather—just as Neva said—as an emotional touch to the text... 😍 😁
Jeffrey Bennett77 said:Honestly, I’d cap the emojis at maybe five per post just to stop people from making posts like 😁. Also, when you quote someone, it should automatically strip out all their emojis so you can actually use your own without the clutter.
I think that could actually be a solid idea 😍
But instead of wiping everything out, maybe just the extra ones... Then again, we wouldn't really have any control over which specific emojis get deleted... 🤔
Actually, I'll take my support back on this one... 😬

Maybe you should have started a thread with someone else, like how Joshua Evans7 and I teamed up once (🙂 🙂)
northerncyclist2 said:Since we're already limiting the number of smileys, I guess it might also be a good idea to just completely disable the BBcode for coloring posts... I mean, this is a forum, not a preschool.
Why... 😕
What exactly should be treated with absolute seriousness by default...? 😁
And hey, look—someone who writes in colorful fonts can actually come across as quite serious too... 🥳 Just exactly how you like it... 🙂 😁 Is it really true that people who have a love for color are somehow childish?... 😬 Noooooooooooooo... 😍
And honestly... 🙂 I mean, wouldn't it be so much nicer to see some actual colors and patterns instead of just staring at a sea of black? 😁 I'm pretty sure all these dark, colorless posts are the reason my vision started getting blurry... 😍 😂
Neva, I have to head out 🙂 BUT I really hope this thread doesn't end up going under
Yeah, true enough neverbalan communication 😠 But emojis... 😍
Honestly, I have a certain respect for people who don't use emojis 🙏 BUT there's also us—the ones who are actually smiling or genuinely laughing while we type, and we just want that energy to come through in the conversation 😁 And we want the tools to make that happen!
😍 It feels incredibly tedious, constantly having to decide which smiley to delete... 😳
Things are getting pretty stressful... 🙂
P.S. Okay, I totally went after you, driftingbear29... sorry... :(
I...
It’s just plain stupid...
I've just gotten used to it... 😢
Look, those five extra smiley faces really shouldn't be causing any more visual issues... 😍 It’s not like we’re asking for an endless supply of emojis like they have over at Reddit... 😬
We aren't looking for that kind of thing on this thread 😬
We are looking for people who share our views 😍😍 👋
By the way, why do I get the impression that a moderator would rarely drop ten emojis in a single post? 😁 It's all about maintaining that sense of professionalism... 🧐
This can get a little 😢 intense. Honestly, sometimes I feel like I have to take a whole post apart just to squeeze in one more smiley face that perfectly captures the vibe... 😍 (Though, I'm not entirely sure how many people still bother with that 🤣)
This feels incredibly important to us (🥳) , so if you could, please make a decision as soon as possible because we're in a real rush!
An appeal modtous—since we're getting hit with just over ten smileys per post, we're reaching out (🙂 🙂 😍) and hoping that almost everyone agrees with our idea! 🙂 The string of troubles we're facing leads to this specific message (😁): "You are limited to using 10 images so please go back and correct the problem..", so I really think it's high time we scrap that silly rule once and for all!
I just spotted some absolutely gorgeous tights 😍😍 😍: They aren't thick at all 🙏 Perfect for those early evenings or when there's a bit of a chill in the air 🙂 And they are such a steal ($13 😲)
